DESCRIPTION
The next generation of the Viper Interceptor, and the second created by CST, the Directorate Viper Interceptor is a bulkier, more heavily armed interceptor than the companies last design. Along with it's size, the main standout of this interceptor from it's predecessors is the mounting of three Lucerne Labs Nimble-7 engines. that allow the Ghost Viper the adjust its speed and agility to take advantage of any situation, either by increasing it's speed, and slowing down to boost it's agility. Along with this, the new interceptor as received an additional universal launch tube, bring the total to two, and putting the full armament more on par with a standard fighter than an interceptor.

The Directorate Viper does still have it's drawbacks however. The fighter's frame and defenses are still lightweight, and astromech slot is still limited to smaller units. Along with this, the agility and speed boosting will always come at a cost. At the same time, the particle cannon armament can be difficult to aim given the slower bolt it fires, and has caught some new pilots to the craft off guard.

Simple and solid! However I found some problems:

• I can't accept Gir's permission, because the question is not visible what sub/weapon you want permission for, and it is not in the picture that Gir allows you as a user or character to use his sub. Please get the appropriate permission.
• The SJC's link is broken.
• You can't use the following subs in this one. These have only minor production scale, and this sub is a mass-produced one. Please modify the production scale or replace these:
  • PC-3 Uur "Silence" Starfighter Particle Cannon
  • Strill Universal Launch Tube System
• And as I mentioned above, you need a proper permission to the Nimble-7 Ion Propulsion System.

That's all, please let me know if you edited these.

Sorry about that. Swapped from Minor to Mass Produced half way through. Everything should be fixed.
